THE DARKNESS WITHIN Trailer Reveal! Plus, Masks.

The trailer for Kelly Hashway's THE DARKNESS WITHIN is now live! Let's watch, shall we? *dims light and passes out the popcorn*

Ooh, great trailer! And music, I especially love that ominous 'duhm' sound at the end. I also love the covers for this series (The Monster Within). Aren't they gorgeous?

So for some additional enjoyment for you all, I've perused Etsy for masks. I would love to one day have an excuse to buy a fancy mask. Unfortunately, in IN, there's not alot of masked balls going on... ;)

After dying of cancer at seventeen and being brought back to life by an evil witch who turned her into a monster, Samantha Thompson thinks she's finally gotten past all the tragedy in her life. Now she's part of a coven of good witches who are helping her and her boyfriend, Ethan Anderson, learn to use the powers they received from other witches. Aside from the fact that Sam and Ethan are still in hiding from their old lives--the ones they had before Sam was brought back to life--things couldn't be better. Sam and Ethan are inseparable. What could go wrong?

Magic.

Ethan's magic came from a witch who'd turned as evil as possible, and though his coven thought he'd be fine, the more he uses his magic, the stranger he starts acting. The magic inside him is changing who he is. One minute he's Sam's sweet, perfect Ethan and the next, he's a complete stranger. Even with all her witchy power, Sam is helpless against the magic corrupting Ethan. Can Sam find out what's wrong with him before she loses him to dark magic forever?

Kelly Hashway grew up reading R.L. Stein’s Fear Street novels and writing stories of her own, so it was no surprise to her family when she majored in English and later obtained a masters degree in English Secondary Education from East Stroudsburg University. After teaching middle school language arts for seven years, Hashway went back to school and focused specifically on writing. She is now the author of three young adult series, one middle grade series, and several picture books. She also writes contemporary romance under the pen name Ashelyn Drake. When she isn’t writing, Hashway works as a freelance editor for small presses as well as for her own list of clients. In her spare time, she enjoys running, traveling, and volunteering with the PTO. Hashway currently resides in Pennsylvania with her husband, daughter, and two pets. Hashway is represented by Sarah Negovetich of Corvisiero Literary Agency.

This is a great trailer! And I love masks, too! I actually have a mask I bought in New Orleans one year. Unfortunately, I've never worn it. Like where you live, there aren't many masked balls going on around here. :)
